Changelog - Version 7.0
Status: in development. This document tracks changes landing on the
7.0branch. Nothing here is released yet, and the contents may still change.
Breaking Changes
- A field definition given as a string is now always treated as an XPath. Before, a string
naming a PHP function (e.g.
"strtoupper") was called as a callback; use a closure instead.
Bug Fixes
XmlIteratorcalled a column XPath as a PHP function when it matched a function name, so columns like"date"or"key"threw aTypeErroror returned garbage. Only non-string callables (closures, invokable objects, array callables) are called now.
Requirements
- PHP 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 are now supported:
"php": ">=8.3 <8.7". The previous<8.6upper bound excluded PHP 8.6, since<8.6is exclusive.
ByJG dependencies
byjg/anydatasetis now^7.0.
While 7.0 is unreleased these resolve to 7.0.x-dev from each component's
7.0 branch, via minimum-stability: dev with prefer-stable: true.
Toolchain
-
PHPUnit updated to
^12.5. -
Psalm is installed as
psalm/pharinstead ofvimeo/psalm.vimeo/psalmlists the PHP versions it supports and no published release includes 8.6, so as a dev dependency it madecomposer installfail on the 8.6 build job before any test ran.psalm/pharrequires onlyphp ^8.2and bundles its own dependencies, so it installs on every PHP version in the matrix and cannot conflict with the project's. Psalm itself still refuses to run on 8.6, which is why the Psalm job uses 8.5.composer psalmruns it. -
PHPUnit 13 is deliberately not used. It requires PHP
>=8.4.1, breaking the 8.3 floor.
Continuous Integration
- The build matrix now includes PHP 8.6.
- The Psalm job runs on PHP 8.5.
Housekeeping
phpunit.xml.distrenamed tophpunit.xml.- The documentation pages were renamed to kebab-case (
xml-dataset.md,xpath-expressions.md), so their addresses on the documentation site change as well.
